The 25-year-old provided two assists to bring Arsenal level, the first one an intelligent pass after a one-two with Danny Welbeck to split the defence and send the Englishman through on goal, while the second came after the Russians were caught on the counter and Ramsey was sent through on goal to score.

Elneny had a pass accuracy of 94% whilst making 70 passes, and has won two tackles and two aerial duels and his impressive performance was rewarded with Europa League Player of the week award.

He has edged out RB Salzburg’s Amadou Haidara, Atlético Madrid’s keeper Jan Oblak, and Dimitri Payet of Marseille for the award.
